All the operators are hurry in launching their 4G service, but much awaited Reliance Jio which is known for 4G services are yet to launch their service commercially. As per the reports Reliance Jio is planning to launch their service in April 2016.
The company’s plan was to cover 750 towns across 10 telecom circles by June 2016, he said.
Stating that the company has 1800 MHz 4G spectrum in 10 telecom circles, he said it covers 50 per cent of telecom market contributing over 60 per cent of company’s revenue.
The company would offer 4G service at 3G rates to subscribers, he said, adding that currently there are one billion people using 4G.
The price is the big barrier in the mobile internet in India. The call rates in India is lowest in the world, but that is not the case when it comes to Data rates. Rs.250/GB is still far from the common man in India. Hope 4G can bring a difference.
